Abstract Background The British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) guidelines on the management of acute idiopathic pancreatitis (AIP) state the incidence of idiopathic cases to be no more than 30%. However, before a firm diagnosis of AIP is made, Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) may be used to determine occult causes. This approach may help prevent recurrent attacks which may evolve into chronic pancreatitis. Methods Retrospective analysis over a one-year period of cases of AIP in a tertiary referral center was performed to see the incidence of AIP and the role of EUS. Patients with an identifiable cause for pancreatitis were excluded, leaving only those who had received a diagnosis of AIP and the diagnostic value of EUS was examined. Results Of the 101 patients diagnosed with AIP, 19% (n = 19) underwent an EUS succesfully. 79% (n = 15) had no underlying cause of pancreatitis identified on EUS. In the remaining 21% of cases (n = 4), microlithiasis, ductal stones, and pus requiring drainage were common findings. Of these patents, only 1 was referred for surgery. In the patient group with negative findings on EUS, 4% were unaffected, 2% were refered for surgery, 2% died and 7% had recurrent episodes of pancreatitis. Conclusions The results of this study show that EUS is a valuable modality in patients with suspected AIP, with a positive diagnostic rate of 21%. Therefore, we propose EUS needs to be included in the investigative pathway of all suspected AIP. Although EUS is a relatively scarce resource, further research is required to establish guidelines for the investigation of suspected AIP.

Background and aims: To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic ultrasound for diagnosis chronic pancreatitis by Rosemont classification. Patients and methods: A cross – sectional study was conducted on patients undergoing endoscopy ultrasound to diagnose chronic pancreatitis. Results: Study on a total of 57 patients indicated for endoscopic ultrasound. We have some following results: The lesions of chronic pancreatitis on endoscopic ultrasound: The hyperechoic foci without shadowing and stranding is 82.5% and hyperechoic foci with shadowing is 70.2%, cyst and pseudocyst are about 15.8%. Main pancreatic duct dilation is 71.9%, hyperechoic main pancreatic duct wall is 70.2%, main pancreatic duct stone is about 45.6%. Rosemont classification in diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis: Consistent with chronic pancreatitis by 1 major A feature (+) ≥ 3 minor features is 69.4% and 2 major A features is 30,6%. Suggestive of chronic pancreatitis by over 5 minor features is 100%. EUS is more accurate than CT in detecting early chronic pancreatitis. Conclusions:Endoscopic ultrasound is a highly effective method of diagnosing chronic pancreatitis. Key words: chronic pancreatitis, endoscopic ultrasound

Background and aims: To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopy ultrasound for diagnosis chronic pancreatitis by Rosemont classification. Patients and methods: A cross - sectional study was conducted on 44 patients undergoing endoscopy ultrasound to diagnose chronic pancreatitis. Results: Study on a total of 44 patients indicated for endoscopic ultrasound. We have some following results: The lesions of chronic pancreatitis on endoscopic ultrasound: The hyperechoic foci without shadowing and stranding was 79.5% and hyperechoic foci with shadowing was 72.7%, cyst and pseudocyst were about 13.6%. Main pancreatic duct dilation is 75%, hyperechoic main pancreatic duct wall was 72.7%, main pancreatic duct stone and irregular main pancreatic duct contour were about 52.2%. Rosemont classification in diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis: Consistent with chronic pancreatitis by 1 major A feature (+) ≥ 3 minor features is 67.5% and 2 major A features is 32.5%. Suggestive of chronic pancreatitis by over 5 minor features is 100%. EUS is more accurate than CT in detecting early chronic pancreatitis. Conclusions: Endoscopic ultrasound is a highly effective method of diagnosing chronic pancreatitis. Key words: endoscopy ultrasound, chronic pancreatitis
